Robbert Duijf, winner of the 2024 European Blues Challenge, releases a new single. “First Train Out” is an ode to his hometown. The once rich and prosperous city was empty, it had reached the bottom. The coal was no longer needed ! The only thing its inhabitants wanted was to leave town on the first train !

In the 80s and 90s, the city faced the scars of the closing of the mines. Robbert remembers especially well the mass departure of the youth from the city, looking for a better future and, and for those left behind, a gigantic drug problem …

First Train Out” was recorded and produced by Angelo Bombrini in the Husky Studios. In addition to Robbert on Guitar and Vocals, one can hear Rubin Duijf on Double Bass, Robin Zalm on Drums and Angelo Bombrini on Banjo.

The single gives a nice foretaste of the full album “Silver Spoon”, which will be released on Friday, March 21, 2025 on CD, transparent vinyl and digital services worldwide.
